A:
In Texas, if you are arrested on the warrant from a different county, the arresting county has at least 10 days to hold you if you were arrested on a "Bench Warrant" for a probation violation or similar issue. There are many different reasons that the 10 days could be extended.
If held beyond the 10 days, it's time to get a lawyer to navigate you through the legal process. Remember, the court only issues a bench warrant on a probation violation if you are accused of violating your terms of probation. Try to get into compliance. It will be a lot easier on you to stay in-touch with your Probation officer. Even if that person is not cool and not friendly.
Good Luck!
A: On the average the time is ten days. If there is a bond you can bond out
